Steve Mc Queen v/s Lewis Hamilton | TAG Heuer Monaco LS

[2011TREADSTONE]

A random guy is walking down a street when an advertising exec, comes running up to him and says "Hey Man, wanna do a voiceover as Hollywood legend Steve McQueen for a TV Commerical"

Random guy says "I have zero acting experience sir, I really don't wanna disrespect the memory of Steve McQueen, The King of Cool!"

Ad exec guy says: "Fuck it man, Mcqueen's dead and here's thirty thousand dollars!"

Random guy says "Fuck McQueen, I always prefered Newman anyway!"

THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED! SERIOUS

[mvies77]

This was an insult to Steve McQueen. He would have won and to refuse the watch from Steve? Are you out of your mind? Why don't you just punch him in the face to disrespect him that way. This was cheesy not cool at all. Who allowed McQueen's image to be used? Don't they care or is it just money?

[LoserMcBeaver]

I hate hamilton for not being a Gentlemen driver like Mark webber or Ayrton senna.

[MyTennis2009]

@LoserMcBeaver In racing terms, Gentleman driver means pay driver. So Gentleman driver is a bad thing. Gentlemen drivers = less talent. Are you jealous of Lewis talent?

[TheMundusvultdecipi]

Truly cringeworthy! An insult to McQueen aficionados. We're in the future? I'm afraid we are but Hamilton can shove it up his candyass and I'll take the past any day over this crap.

[daveking77]

Very shallow attempt. Disappointing from TH.

[factor41]

Way to rape your heritage. Putting Hamilton in this video is like Ford putting Shelby stripes on a Focus. He'll never, ever be cool enough.

[zoomiewoz]

Stick to making watches

[MarcarDoesVidoes]

Words cannot describe just how awful I think this video is. To call it an insult to McQueen fans is a catastrophic understatement. Poor composure, Poor storyline and disgraceful voice over. In brief... What a load of crap!

[trackdayfilms]

This is worst voice over, worst composition and the worst advert ever. How can such a good idea go so wrong.

[cegb1310]

whats the songs name?

[LordHeath1972]

From a technology point of view this is brilliant; from an entertaining point of view it's embarrassing.

[slick1ru2]

@LordHeath1972 +1

[mickyredmire]

Why have the idiots removed one of McQueen's fingers in the "salutation" scene? Long tail 917 vs 2011 F1 car on the proper Mulsanne straight? There's only one winner, and it wouldn't be driven by Hamilton.

[tommykl]

*cringe*

[BigBlue0002]

Thanks man... Makes me remember what a "bad ass" McQueen was... These Hollywood "Prima Donnas" these days... They don't make them like him anymore.

[antoniobagera]

There is something very wrong with tis commercial... Mcqueen, The Legend should of course win.

[kilagon10]

Would of been abetter video if Mc Queen won...

[jahosaps]

Steve McQueen y quienes diseñaron el Porsche 917 se deben estar revolcando en su tumba. Es una insolencia comparar a Hamilton y McLaren con el mas fabuloso auto de carreras de todos los tiempos. Y si corrieran mano a mano en Spa, el McLaren no tendrìa oportunidad. Pedro Rodriguez, Jo Siffert, Steve McQueen eran HOMBRES con mayùsculas. Hamilton es solo marketing.

[Juru2000]

es una ofensa comparar a Hamilton con Mc Queen...pfff

[SatanasB]

Incroyable, en regardant cette vidéo, j'avais l'impression que Steeve était toujours parmis nous !!! Merci pour cette vidéo.

[dorne]

With exception to the accent of McQueen's voice, I thought that the vid was pretty cool. I have LeMan on video and I'm a Hamilton fan as well. Love the Monaco watch too!!

[MrZee1967]

LOL< lame...

[jemimakahn]

The whole video demeans mcQueen instead of paying tribute to him. "But you keep it Steve, we're in the future now" ? If they were trying to celebrity Tag Heuer's longevity they failed, bigtime. A-holes.

[jemimakahn]

...trying to "celebrate" Tag heuer's longevity not celebrity. That's how much this piece of shit pissed me off.

[juaneer]

@jemimakahn I think what happens is that you can't afford a Tag Heur....

[13vafanculo]

Hamilton is a World First class pompous  Dick

[Panzerjaeger1993]

Funny thing is, some versions of the 917 have a higher top speed than the McLaren.

[ICoMeFRoMNoWHeRe]

Hamilton is not a good driver, Tag heuer should be taken alonso than this garbage called hamilton

[tricesimo]

Hamilton can only DREAM about being as cool as McQueen!

[EagleEye812]

This video makes me want to have a Johnnie Walker.

[assdeodorant]

I thought Mcqueen is an american? wow he sounds euro here

[penguindonut]

You won't find it lame if u know what a legend Steve Mcqueen was and the story behind the original monaco. It shows two generations of legend with a similar tradition.

[03basesedan]

so fucking lame

[dbaker9128]

It's good to see McQueen again. There is nobody like him today. The blue dial Monaco, in all of its forms since 1969, is a true classic.

[MartinWAPerth]

wow, this has got to be one of the tackiest ad's I've seen all year......

[boxerevolution]

Lewis !!!

Tag and Mclaren,nice couple.

[FlexWheeler2nd]

I can go either way on this. I understand what they were trying to do with the bridging of the past and the present . . . and trying to milk the Steve McQueen legend for marketing, but "LeMans" is a classic film and shouldn't be messed with. It's best left in its original form for us to enjoy as a movie, not a Tag commercial.

[Suprahampton]

Wouldn't be so bad if the voiceover guy actually sounded like Steve

[9256steven]

Now this exactly what I was thinking, the voice was wrong, he sounded more like Oscar Goldman to me.

In the Puma advert with McQueen in '97 they couln't even get the brown tweed jacket right on new close ups.

[justneil]

I'll have a shit sandwich with a side helping of cheese please.

[bigbigjon88]

why does Lewis Hamilton have an american accent??

[Totton1970]

I thought exactly the same thing...not just me then!

[RaBBolRaBBol]

McClaren is sucking wind this year

[iqbal55]

HAHHA eww this is so fucking gay

[Juihi2]

The 917 would most likely beat a F1 car on the straights but the F1 would win easy in the corners

[flyingotterman]

It's fairly accurate. This year's McClaren would probably only just beat a 40 year old car ; )

[Charleybones]

Tres stupid

[LePoulpe94160]

cette vidéo est vraiment top...D'une part j'adore les montres et j'aimais beaucoup Steeve Mc Queen !! Nostalgie. Bravo à ceux qui nous ont fait rêver un peu.
